Can I be sued for my blog?

[kms1012]

What is the name of your state? MI

We are a retired couple and just purchased a new house last October. The builder has been doing a very poor job of fixing problems with the house, both major and minor. They have even told us that some of the things we have pointed out that need to be changed are the same in all the houses in the development. We have seen some of the other houses and they have been done correctly. Now to my question.

I started a blog in December documenting our experience and most of it is not favorable to the builder. In it I mention all the problems we have had, what has been fixed or not fixed, and how long it has taken to get things done. Can I be sued by the builder for what I have posted on the blog? Could I be sued for telling prospective homebuyers about the blog or by handing out fliers telling them about the blog?

Thanks in advance for your help.What is the name of your state?

But, truth is a defense. Just be prepared to have to prove it if you go to court.
